therealpm*Bored, he paces the cell. The inedible remnents of Fiona's gift basket are stacked carefully out of the way in the fireplace, above which is tacked a hand drawn card from John's children. His legs and back ache, signalling that he's going to be changing form soon. He should, he supposes, get under the blankets and wait there, but John had been significantly less amenable to letting him out for at least short breaks than Peter had hoped: he's been kept alone in this room for days now and the confinement is making him restless.
A muscle in his flank spasms. He grits his teeth as others follow suit- it's starting. Hobbling, he makes his way over to the bed and burrows under a blanket, biting the edge to avoid crying out in pain as his form shifts.*

Date: 2012-10-08 07:02 am (UTC)I wouldn't expect anything else from The Prince of Darkness.

Date: 2012-10-08 07:12 am (UTC)'The Prince in the Tower', might perhaps be a more accurate name for now.

Date: 2012-10-08 07:14 am (UTC)Oh don't be so melodramatic, Peter.

Date: 2012-10-08 07:22 am (UTC)*John tidies up the tea things and gets ready to leave.
I do have quite a lot of work to be getting on with. Is there anything else you need at the moment?
(no subject)
Date: 2012-10-08 07:24 am (UTC)That sort of thing.
(no subject)
Date: 2012-10-08 07:28 am (UTC)Which books, Peter? Just saying "books" is not particularly helpful and the last time you said something along those lines you ended up with Campbell's tomes, something I am sure you are keen to avoid.
(no subject)
Date: 2012-10-08 08:11 am (UTC)Books other than political biographies, then.

Date: 2012-10-08 08:22 am (UTC)Very well.
*John summons down a few books from the the flat.*
Better?

(no subject)
Date: 2012-10-08 08:55 am (UTC)'Twilight- New Moon'. You're not funny, John.
(no subject)
Date: 2012-10-08 08:57 am (UTC)...I do apologise.
*John banishes those books back to the house and summons a few more.*
(no subject)
Date: 2012-10-08 09:13 am (UTC)Well... I suppose they're better than Campbell's diaries.
*He waves dismissively*
Away with you, I was under the impression you had important work to be getting on with.
(no subject)
Date: 2012-10-08 09:24 am (UTC)Yes, Peter, I do. I am so glad something was found to suit your tastes at last. So very glad indeed...
*John exits the cell, banished the tea things to the kitchen sink and settles down to do some work.*
